Preorder already open with 20% off. I think you also get the beta right away but I haven't tried it.

Yeah you get the beta if you buy the game now. You also get access to the 4 dlc characters for the beta even if you buy the normal edition

I tried to run it on my Surface Pro 4 but it crashes after struggling to run the SNK logo (keeps stattering). DoA5 runs smoothly at 720p on it, so I'm guessing lowering down the resolution would solve the problem. Is there anyway to do it for KOF14? Completely noob with Steam here. I tried to set it through the Launch Options but that didn't work out.

There have been a secret code for displaying input frame data in practice mode, by doing the Raging Storm motion followed by triangle + X in the main menu:

I have no idea how to read / utilize it this way though.

Xiaohai and Reynald finally faced each other during CEO 2017 yesterday. Great performance from both sides, despite the result. I hope both of them join EVO this year.

The next DLC wave will be Oswald, Blue Mary, Shingo and unfortunately, Hinako, according to data mining of Steam edition.

There was a character design competition in Saudi Arabia a while back, and the organizers mentioned that the winning design will be used in a popular fighting game series.

Yesterday, they announced the winner, and it's been revealed that the fighting game is KOF. They didn't mentioned in which project the design will be used. So whether it's KOF14, KOF15 or a mobile spinoff is not clear.

Edit: they mentioned having a new stage as well

Is that evena proper hijab? :lolz: Just kidding.

Don't really like the design that much, but seeing some of the other characters introduced in KOF14 I guess it's very possible to include it into the series.

Yeah it doesn't fit with KOF, which is something I feel with Kukri's design too. Will reserve judgment until I see the in-conversion.

The character description is basically Bayonetta with a possessed abaya instead of hair. One part says the head cover may fall during battle but she quickly puts it on afterwards.

Asking SNK a question like that never goes anywhere. They just lie about it till they do whatever they get around to doing.

It's been confirmed the new character and stage will be used in KOF14, so we will get to see at least one more update before KOF15.

Edit: btw, KOF13 almost had a Middle Eastern souq stage like the one in KOF98:

I would have loved to see that canyons stage and the Russia stage in the game too.

The game barely has a player base in the US. You may find more luck in some regions than others, but your best option is to seek discord or whatsapp groups, or communities on either platforms before you decide to buy.

It's a shame really considering the gameplay depth and amount of content that the game offers. Also, 14 is a far better entry point than 13 was. And contrary to what many believe, all 54 characters have a competing chance if you put on the effort to learn them.

PS: if anyone would like to try the connection with me on PSN, my ID is "Alucard-XII". I got playable connection with one of my friends who currently lives in the US.

Just watched a Team Spooky stream where Zhi is previewing the setup of Evo Japan. He happened to talk to a rep at SNK on stream and he said they will announce DLC at Evo Japan. So hold on to your butts.

It's awesome that this game has so many characters already. Im gonna keep on begging till they put my mains in there though

Xiangfei and Kasumi come on guys. Honestly im surprised that neither Mary nor Kasumi are in this yet.

https://twitter.com/frionel26/status/957153586017792000

Too many to list, but here is what caught my attention:

Kyo airial down C has less stun, making harder to combo from

-------

Iori far D may have less reach, and harder to follow up with max mode > close C

His DP can only be cancelled on first hit now

-----

Beni's jump D hit box might be nerfed a bit
qcf kick > down up kick does less damage
qcf P has less active frames

-----

Kula far C has less range

----

Vanessa far D is no longer unsafe (thank God)
Sweep can be cancelled

-----

Whip jump C cross is easier to combo from

crLK may be faster
